Which were your favorites? Any weird ones you remember? This is a part of retrogaming that doesn't get much discussion on /vr/. Not sure why the other thread was deleted, it came out in the 90s.

Playing Phoenix in Calculus class kicked ass. I remember in 8th grade somebody hooked me up with a huge set of games. Most were terrible, but Phoenix, Fast Tunnel, and that one were you roll a wheel/circle down holes in rising platforms (anybody remember the name?) got a lot of playtime.

By the time I was in high school, they started getting fancier. People made a version of Mario for it and shared levels, and they had all kinds of weird games like the one where you have to choose which urinal to pee at. I've got to look these up, they must be archived somewhere, at least the biggest ones.

Block Dude was cool too.

And Tetris of course, once I got Tetris on mine I played it a ton.

I had an 89.
Lots of Phoenix, CalcRogue, and Tetris (which whould throw an unnatural number of s-blocks at you.)

Though I don't remember Phoenix looking as nice as this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke6DnczjaK0
Mostly just a higher resolution version of your pic.

That's the TI-89/92 version of Phoenix, which had a number of graphical and gameplay improvements.

NumWorks is gonna replace TI eventually.
They can keep their stuff in schools, while programmer nerds get a taste of sweet freedom on a literal graphing calculator.
